After
9/11, Mosques Popping Up Across America

By Julio
Severo

Does Islamic
terror bring mosque growth? The fact is that after the 9/11 Islamic terrorist
attacks, many new mosques are popping up across the United States, and this
growth defies logic and contrasts with the church growth movement, which had
not connection to terror.

Virginia Beach,
the famous headquarters of Christian Broadcasting Network and its equally
famous “The 700 Club,” is now poised for its first mosque, the Crescent
Community Center.

Turkish-American Culture and Civilization Center

In neighboring
Maryland, the government of Turkey is building a $100 million mega mosque, the
Turkish-American Culture and Civilization Center in Lanham.

Earlier this
year, Turkey’s Islamist Prime Minister traveled to the US to attend the
groundbreaking ceremony for the mosque.

Can you imagine
the US government building a $100 million mega Christian church in Turkey? Can
you imagine a US State Secretary travelling to Turkey only to attend the groundbreaking
ceremony for the church?

No, the US
government, whose nation was once a Protestant power, would never do for a
Christian church abroad what Muslim governments do for mosques abroad.

While Christian
churches are being destroyed on a near daily basis in Muslim countries
throughout the world, the US government is investing
millions of dollars to rebuild overseas Islamic mosques.

Can you imagine
Turkey or Saudi Arabia investing millions of dollars to rebuild overseas
Christian churches? While the US funds mosque rebuilding abroad, Turkey and
other Islamic nations fund mosque growth in America.

The Clarion
Project reports that about 1,200 mosques are now operating in the U.S., and
almost 80 percent of them were built after 9/11.

The majority of
those mosques are led by Wahhabi clerics — from the same branch of Islam that
Osama bin Laden followed.

From America,
they intend to spread mosque growth around the world.

Encouraging mosque
growth is a strange way for America to fight terror, which is largely Islamic
in nature.
